About the music
Inspired by stories we are hearing about dating during the COVID-19 pandemic, "Make Me Laugh" is a playful and hopeful perspective on what it would be like to find love in the post-apocalyptic world. We adored the idea of a hard-hearted survivor in a nuclear wasteland who finds himself fumbling around with nervous butterflies after seeing his dream-date while out scavenging for food. The protagonist finds themself in love with a person who reminds them of the world that used to be, but is so dedicated to survival that they fear they could never be vulnerable to anyone again. In the end they decide that their love will win over all if the person makes them do something they didn't think was possible anymore - laugh. In the end, this song is about how the ability to laugh and find love in hard times can be the most important form of survival.
We had a blast making this song. It is a unique blend of sounds that elevates the traditional singer-songwriter approach to a love song. For percussion we utilize a talented drum line group to add a "high school" vibe to the song, and we finish the huge soundscape with signature Bond Villain cinematic orchestral instruments. Hopefully this song will make you dance, shout, cry, and most importantly, laugh.

With front-man Robert Roche bringing a unique blend of soulful, striking vocals over genre-bending instrumentals, Bond Villain is a totally unique musical experience. After touring as a lead vocalist in the Boston hardcore scene for years, Robert developed his style as a composer of orchestral scores for films and video games. Now staking a claim in the new music scene, Bond Villain delivers a fresh, dramatic sound by combining movie-score instrumentals with catchy, indy pop.
